    Another Shimano- SLX or XT, from Rose Bikes or whichever german seller is currently cheapest.

    It’s the bearings (and packing them with grease) that’s important, not the branding on the BB.

    To that end, just use whatever is cheapest and pack with grease!

    I tried lots of options then I got a King. I was going through BBs between 7 and 11 weeks. Haven’t touched this one for 4 years so far…

    I tried those bearings, one of the worst buys I’ve ever made for a bike tbh, never again. Far less economic than just buying another XT BB.

    Hope ceramic, unbeatable imo.

    Hope Stainless

    Running smooth and quiet

    Careful on fitting as the threads are tough!

    Replaceable bearings
    £65

    Also feels nice well made and “Proper”
